Termite Management

n nature termites assist in the recycling of organic matter and nutrients back to the soil. Termites avoid light and rarely come out into the open. Often termites are found within timbers where they leave a wafer thin layer to protect themselves from the outside environment. Sometimes they conceal themselves within mud-like tubes or galleries. These galleries/runways extend from the central nest to a food source above or below ground level. The gallery system of a single termite colony may exploit food sources over as much as one hectare, with individual galleries extending up to 50m in length. Termites penetrate through cracks in the concrete slab and brickwork to gain access into buildings where they can then build their nest in the wall cavities and roof void of your home.
Once termites have entered your home, they do not limit themselves to wood; they also damage paper, cloth, carpets, and other cellulosic materials. The bottom line is that termites are a constant threat to your property and without an effective prevention program your home is exposed to potential termite damage which could remain unnoticed until it becomes a serious and costly problem.
